This was a great read. I had to smile when Father Joseph said to Wes

Don't spread the word that I can see and hear. These encounters are my only real source of entertainment

Wonderful writing as usual. Mischief and mayhem in childhood - finding the lines in the sand and being gently guided back on track. And those justifications from the boys as they try to find a way to rationalise their wrongdoing into something acceptable ... some clever rationalising! But clearly still worth a grounding for life if caught! We could all learn a thing or two from Father Joseph though. What a delightful character. Always a pleasure to see you in The Ink Well, @wrestlingdesires
